As promized, a pix of Thumper, my Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum, after the frame transplant (from steel Dragoon to aluminum NM Blackhawk frame) and a set of Executioner's beautiful elk stag grips fitted.
Sometime down the line, I'm going to have what's left of the "Kids Don't Try This At Home" warning from Ruger buffed off the barrel and have the frame hard chromed.
Does this make me a gunsmith???

Well I dunno, you screwed two parts together that didn't come from the factory together and ended up with a GUN. Sounds like "manufacturing a gun" to me. At least inside the Beltway it's probably viewed that way, since nobody there knows anything about either manufacturing or guns.
Do it yourself.
Strip the bluing, fill the "warning" with copper solder, buff it, then triple plate it ( copper -> Nickel -> Chrome ).

You changed the grips?? Uh oh.
You changed the frame! Dear God!!
Next you want to get rid of the "Read the owners manual and please don't sue us if you're too stupid to avoid shooting yourself" warning?
You're not a gunsmith, you're a manufacturer!
The only chance you have of avoiding serious Federal time is to deliver the gun to me and I'll take the rap for you.
Otherwise, you might as well just sleep with the doors wide open so the ninja clad raid team can waltz right in.
(better get a kevlar vest for the dog too)
I promise to give the Ruger a nice warm Arizona home.

Hi, I just wanted to say how much I like your blog. Sometimes it is bothering to get into a place where bloggers only got one thing to say, so their posts are almost a continuous and unstoppable deja vu! It's good to have variety and this is pretty much what brings me here over and over again.
